Our Story It all begins with a true story. Frustration and anger leads to an innovation, which in turn, creates a company. This is what makes Snickers Workwear so special, a true story from real life: From 1959 to 1972 the founder of Snickers Workwear, Matti Viio, worked as an electrician - first building high tension lines and then installing domestic and industrial wiring. Technologically, a great deal happened in those years. Materials and tools evolved, as did the working methods. But one thing didn’t change: work wear. They were still just the same as in the mid-nineteenth century. They may have been fine in those days, but more than a hundred years" had changed people’s demands. Work wear failed to fill modern requirements concerning function, comfort and design. Manufacturers showed no interest in the "worker’s" real needs. Several times Matti Viio suggested modifications. But no one listened. In the end, he lost his temper and got angry as hell: “One day, I went home from work and designed my own garments to work in! That was my protest against the established work wear industry. I wanted to show that we workers have pride and know-how, and that our need of respect is the same as that of all other groups in society.” The spirit of Snickers Workwear is still the same as it was when the company started. Snickers Workwear has always solved functional problems for professional needs. A combination of professional know-how and professional pride and self-esteem. Snickers Workwear is driving the development of advanced, highly functional work wear for craftsmen, service and transport. Call it a passion.
